As the Indian cricket team gears up for the second Test against Bangladesh, a heartwarming video has emerged of head coach Gautam Gambhir, batting superstar Virat Kohli, and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant sharing a memorable buggy ride at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport.
The Hilarious Buggy Ride at Indira Gandhi International Airport
The trio, who share a long history together, were seen engaged in a lively conversation as they made their way to catch a flight to Kanpur from Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, where the crucial match will take place. Kohli and Gambhir, who have had their fair share of heated exchanges on the field during their IPL days, appeared to be in deep discussion while Pant listened intently, adding to the lighthearted atmosphere.
Rishabh Pant, who made a triumphant comeback to the Test team in the first match against Bangladesh, was also seen in another video with Gambhir and Kohli as they arrived at the Delhi airport on Tuesday. The young wicketkeeper-batter, who represents Delhi in domestic cricket, marked his return to the longest format with a brilliant 109-run knock in the second innings, showcasing his ability to adapt his game to the situation.

A Bittersweet History
Gambhir, who took over as India’s head coach earlier this year, has emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy off-field relationship with his players. In a recent interaction, he clarified that his rapport with Kohli is not for public consumption, stating, “The perception is far away from the reality. My relation with Virat Kohli is something this country doesn’t need to know.”
Kohli, on the other hand, has expressed his belief that since he has made peace with his rivals, people are disappointed that there’s no more “masala” (spice) left in their interactions. The former Indian captain, who played state cricket for Delhi alongside Gambhir, has always maintained a strong bond with his teammates, both on and off the field.
The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, will be aiming for a 2-0 clean sweep against Bangladesh after their dominant 280-run victory in the series opener in Chennai. With the likes of Kohli, Pant, and Gambhir leading the charge, the team will be looking to continue their winning momentum and cement their position in the World Test Championship standings.
